Gissert,

That is an awesome fish man. I should have set up a tip up just under the ice out there a week ago when I was on LOTW. We were just having too much fun poppin the eyes and saugs though. A couple days before we went up, someone iced a 42" pike in the house we were renting.

Harvey Lee, if it makes any difference that was one of the biggest pike tails I have seen in awhile. Had it at boatside only to be fouled by your own fishing buddy. I'm guessing that was a long ride home.

You got it. I still think about that gator and wonder how big it really was. I never said a word to Jerry as he felt kinda bad. Oh well, just means I have to go fishing again and hope another biggun hits. Sooner or later I will land a monster.

Jezzzzz! Looking at all these monsters makes my 32" personal best look like bait! I need to really try to beat my 32 now that I have a boat this year.

48" fish out of a marina here locally on Lake Superior.. This was about 15 years ago now.. We routinely would catch fish 40 inches or bigger and up to 45" in a season when I was in middle school and highschool. Now, we are lucky to catch 30 inch fish in the entire system throughout a season... Shows what harvest can do, to even a huge body of water..

I caught a 44.5" many years ago from a little lake close to home that grew them big for a couple years on stocked rainbow trout. Nice, thick fish...gonna guess close to 25lbs. The same lake produced a 43" fish that weighed 28lbs.

My biggest is a 34incher out of medicine lake. I have caught 3 that were also the same size out of the mississippi. Lost a northern that had to be pushing 20lbs in the boundary waters a few years back, that was a huge bummer, snapped my 15lb mono like nothing
